Organic Farming

Our Mission

Our mission is to create conditions for all forms of life to prosper in the Northern Great Plains. We work to promote agrarian livelihood, stimulate ecological biodiversity, encourage reciprocity throughout the agricultural supply chain and generate long-term thinking about our planet, by leveraging the learning opportunities offered by our land base in North Central Montana. Generations of exploitative agricultural practices and economic politics have crippled our relationship with our food system, our environment, and each other. We see humans as a part of nature and our mission statement comes from our belief that in order for all life to thrive we must work in harmony with the natural world.

It’s not just land that is broken, but more importantly, our relationship to land.

— Robin Wall Kimmerer
